Hi mrsD

we opened up "The Library & Box Office" for book and movie chat recently as a sticky thread on Social Forum

it seems to be getting enough action to maybe become a subforum there soon

Hi tamiloo
we have a series of Night Owls threads on Social Forum with #9 the most recent

I will see if we can sticky it there so all can easily find it....

I'm still learning...

Under MS, a sub-forum for Primary Progressive/Secondary Progressive. Definately different then RRs (Relapsing- Remitting.) Different in many ways.
No meds really for us, onset tends to be at older age. No remitting or steroids that work for us. About 15% I read of MS population. Some PP/SPMSers here here already.

Just found this section-missed it earlier on.
Being a bit grumpy sometimes I get a little annoyed when the threads I am interested in might show a new post, but when I go in it is just a word game.
Why can't we keep these dedicated threads on topic, so that they are not clogged up with irrelevant posts, and have a dedicated Games thread for those who participate in them?

[Curious]

peter, most of the games are in the OT type of forums.

can you give me a link so i know which threads you are talking about? you can pm them to me if you wish.

Chronic pain.

Hi Peter

there is only *one* thread on the chronic pain forum associated with games and it is clearly marked OT (for Off Topic) Word Association Game

the rest of the threads on that forum are all related to chronic pain, and so it seems fair to have one light hearted thread running.

If you are subscribed to get alerts on new posts to that forum you may just want to unsubscribe from that specific thread

hope that helps

Hi Chemar, it also happens with the Fybromyalgia and chronic fatique thread.
So are you saying that despite having a specific thread for word games, you would also have no problem with each dedicated medical thread also having word games?
If that is the case, what is the point of the word game thread?
It just seems a bit odd to me.

Hi Peter
I think we are talking of different things

the Threads are the various discussions within each separate forum, of which the NeuroTalk community is made up

people dont play games on the threads related to say discussions of meds. There is a specific subforum for games in our Lighter Side Forum, but we dont object to a thread or two in the medical forums being game orientated as we know that folks sometimes need that

again as example
in the CFS & Fibro Forum http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum12.html
there is only *one* thread for games..
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread2151.html
..the other threads there are related to the illness and when they arent, they are labelled OT in their title to let members know these are OFF TOPIC
You can "unsubscribe" from *any* specific thread so as to not get alerts of new posts on threads that you have no interest in, and so by unsubscribing from any of the game threads, you will no longer get notifications of new posts to them

hope that helps
Cheri

ps we do appreciate your input
